Still drive it like that since it's not visible from the outside (I can get fined). When I got my X1 the dealer tried to get me signed for higher monthly payment and I caught it (always read what I'm signing). To "reimburse" me for the hassle they offered me either free windshield protection or free body damage protection. Without even thinking I accepted the windshield protection.
To the OP question windshield is not covered by the car's warranty like any body damage. Many insurance policies have separate glass damage coverage.

Very interesting - thank you for the info. I am checking with my insurance today. I am hoping that they can just repair the chip, and I won't need the entire windshield replaced.
